Like:

Ctrl+Alt+BackSpace

??? Is that what you mean?

If you simply want to get to a non X terminal window you could also use CTRL+ALT+F1..F4..

Also you could change the runlevel from 5 to 6 in /etc/inittab..
change the line
"id:5:initdefault:"
to
"id:3:initdefault:"

save and reboot..

nope im after a shut Down of X so its not running anymore but i do want to keep graphical login just need X down to install nvidia drivers...
Would killing X be ok, i know it would do it but know there is a safer way, a command that just shutdowns the X server.

Yeah Ctrl+Alt+BackSpace kills X but if you boot to runlevel 5 it will simply restart X and bring you back to the GUI login prompt. You may have to edit /etc/inittab and change your default runlevel to 3 in order to install the drivers.
